#CHIPS: "Xeon Phi Enables World’s Densest Supercomputers"

The world's densest supercomputers were enabled by Intel's 60-core Xeon Phi on its recently announced high-density 5120D coprocessor board. For instance, Silicon Graphics ICE X supercomputer can house two Xeon Phi coprocessors in a single blade slot enabling 172-teraFLOPS per rack: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog


Each rack contains 172-teraFLOPS of power, here enabling a 3.4-petaFLOP supercomputer to fit in 20 rack cabinets.
